Favor Bonus As congress began a new season Friday two of the most dislussed legislative proposals were he bonus plan and a poll of the ^orth Carolina delegation, just :ompleted, shows practically un-1 xnimous support of the former ind solid opposition to the latter. Passage of a bonus bill now is t foregone conclusion on Capitol lill and it is quite obvious thatI here is sufficient strength to j iverride a Presidential veto. The [ >nly question is what form the >ill will take as to payment.

It ? ji ! Farm Questions i Question: How much fertilizer ! should I use on my tobacco plant( | bed? Answer: An application of 200; j pounds of a 4-8-3 mixture should j [ be applied to each 100 square; [yards of bed. If a lower grade of j fertilizer is used it can be sup- j plemented with from 50 to 100 (pounds of cotton seed meal provided the meal is thoroughly imixed with the soil. All fertilizer j should be broadcast and mixed j thoroughly with the top three or j four inches of soil. Do not use j tobacco trash on the beds nor I any manure containing tobacco |j leaves, stalks, or roots. Question: How can I keep my j chickens from ' picking out their ? feathers ? f Answer: This trouble is caused ? by a small mite that gets into j the skin near the base of the feathers and causes irritation. To , get rid of this mite the poultry ' house should be thoroughly cleaned and sprayed with a solution } of three parts of crude petroleum or carbolineum and one and one-half parts of kerosene. Dip . the birds in a tub containing two ' ounces of flowers of sulphur and six ounces of flaked soap to five gallons of tepid water. Be sure | that the solution gets to the skin. Question: Should the grain ration of my dairy cows be increased during the winter mon- a ths? 11 Answer: This depends upon the d quality of hay and the present t milk production. Each animal should have about three pounds f of silage each day for each 100 v pounds of live weight and all the p legume hay she will consume in f two feedings. When the quality S of hay is poor, more grain will d be required. However, no matter what amount is being fed, if the n milk production remains normal a then the feeding should not be o increased. Extension Circular 193 1; gives the grain rations for dif- h ferent breeds and amounts of pro- 1 duction. This circular will be sent e free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State College, d Get Garden Off j To Quick Start . h Early Vegetables May Be Forced To Maturity Iftl Seed Are Planted In Cold a Frame u Si A well constructed cold frame will help the home gardner get n his vegetables off to a good start is in the spring. s( A cold frame, serving as an in- u termediate stage between the " seed box and the garden, gives the plants a chance to harden h( before they are placed out in the oi apen. ? H. R. Niswonger, extension e< horticulturist at State College, recommends that such vegetables th is cabbage, cauliflower, tomato, pepper, and egg plant be trans- m planted to a cold farm before being set out in the garden. fo For the average home garden, Pr he said, the cold frame should n ;over an area six feet wide and dc 14 feet long. The wooden frame m mClosing the bed should be 15 to b? L8 inches high along the back p, ind 8 to 10 inches high in front to Locate the cold frame in a J junny place, facing the south. Place good garden loam, mixed ^ vith stable manure, in the bed th 0 a depth of six inches. ?c Second-hand sash or unbleach;d muslin makes a good cover- j" ng for the frame. Muslin satura- N< ,ed with hot linseed oil will re- ^ ain the heat of the sun within 32 he bed and also shed water )r the cloth may be treated with th 1 solution of one pound of para- 35 fin dissolved in a gallon of gas- fii iline. th Young plants are ready to be of ransferred to the cold frame x.: PORT PILOT, SOUTHPORT, Use Black Locust j] To Stop Erosion n Addition To Stopping 1 Soil Erosion, Trees Make Profitable Crop For Timber And Posts Steep, eroded lands may be irought back into production with t ilack locust as a timber crop. t Black locust not only protects x he soil but it also provides high j luality timber for posts, poles, ;j ind fire wood, says R. H. Page,. ? rr., assistant extension forester j it State College. Page said that an excellent ex- |r imple of reclaiming a badly ero-1 ^ led mountain side in Avery coun-1' ;y is located on the farm of J. L. fartley. Ten years ago Hartley scatter- jc id black locust seed pods on a1 ? ield that was too steep to pro-;( luce wheat, corn, or tobacco, and ! vas rapidly eroding while lying r die. 1 He continued broadcasting the 1 seeds each year until at present 1 here are 15 acres of land growng locusts from three to ten fears of age. The trees range 1 :rom six to 25 feet in height. This winter Hartley is thinning 1 >ut the timber by removing all 1 leformed and suppressed trees ' irom the older fields. This will 1 provide more room for the trees 1 vhich will later be used for posts ' ind poles. The wood removed is 1 jeing used for fuel. Hartley is also seeding burned- j iver woodlands near his home with different varieties of tree jeed, including poplar, ash and lorthern red oak. Planting trees on these burned>ver acres holds the soil in place ind starts the work of building ts fertility, explained Hartley, vho is a fire warden for the anville Improvement Company. Page said that black locust i )lantings are good for utilizing j iteep, eroded fields, not suitable or cultivation, in the Piedmont irea as well as in the western ^orth Carolina counties. Stock Need Warm Water In Winter Dne Of Best Investments In Time Or Equipment For| Farmer Is To Provide Fresh, Warm Water To Stock One of the most expensive ways . farmer can heat water for his ivestock is to let the animals Irink it cold and warm it with heir bodies. Giving the animals water at reezing temperature lowers their , itality, and seriously curtails the ? roduction of dairy cattle, said t >rof P T-T Rnffnor Vif>ad nf t"Vi o itate College animal husbandry x epartment. ; s "Can you imagine a beef ani- s lal fattening, a calf growing, or r cow producing large quantities f milk after becoming thorough- j y chilled and shivering for an ( our in overcoming the effects of! ^ 0 to 20 gallons of ice cold wat-1, r?" he asked. He estimated that a cow pro-1 v ucing 25 pounds of milk a day | ? urns up more than a pound of orn in warming the water she r rinks when it is taken into the | ^ ody at freezing temperature. v At the State College dairy 'hen the first two true leaves I ave developed. As warm weather approaches, i le plant bed should be left open < little more each day to harden ' le plants. Ventilation is neces- 4 iry, even on cold days. i Water the plants on sunny 1 lornings when the ' temperature 11 1 rising. Thoroughly wet the 4 )il, then do not water again un- J* 1 the surface appears dry. i COMMISSIONER'S SALE OF J REAL ESTATE In accordance with the judgment 4 sretofore rendered on the 30th day t ' December, A.

Any ^ et-up in control measures when t idverse weather or natural en- !<j :mies have cut down a crop pest |c neans future trouble for growers, > c \.n ebb in insect life is likely to < >e followed by an upturn. Because the spring and early ? summer of 1935 were cool the I j :odling moth had a relatively ' short season and did much less, ? lamage than usual in the East s ind Middle West. It appeared in < iverage numbers in the Pacific-1 Northwest, where, however, it 1 was well above average in 1933 1 ind 1934. Entomologists warn growers!1 that this lull does not mean that 1 the codling moth is permanently an the wane. Right now, they 1 say, enough larvae to be the 1 forerunners of enormous numbers 1 af worms next season?if the 1 winter is not too severe?are I tucked away in cocoons under loose bark on trees or hidden in : iebris on the ground, in packing 1 sheds, and in cider mills. Vigor- 1 aus control measures this winter : will give growers a running start ! in the race against next sum- j mer's worms. Scraping loose bark off trees ' ind destroying it will kill many 1 averwintering worms and expose 1 athers to the attacks of parasites, predators, and birds. Win- 1 ter scraping is a prerequisite for 11 summer banding to trap the first ! arood worms as they crawl down the tree from the apples on 1 which they hatched from eggs laid by adult moths in the spring. Every worm thus caught reduces the size of the second brood, j] Bands can be cheated out of | j heir full catch by loose bark or . ather cocooning quarters that the 1 worms like. D. B. Castor of Cabarrus coun- 1 ty has two black mare colts j' joming two and three years old!. vhich will probably weigh 1300! ind 1400 pounds each when ma;ure although their mother only veighs 1,000 pounds now. Side applications of 100 pounds )f nitrate of soda to corn in Stokes county this year gave in:reased yields of 20 to 25 per:ent over where no nitrate was lsed in this way. )orn, where water is supplied at t moderate temperature, there ire seven cows producing more han 50 pounds of milk a day.

George B. Lay, rodent control ader of the U. S. biological suriy with head quarters at State allege, said Red Squill is the ost nearly fool-proof rat poison. iowti to man. It usually drives the rodents iderground to die, thereby prein ting unpleasant odors. It acts owly, Lay added, and does not are off late coming rats with le bodies of dead or dying rats ;ar the bait. The best time to put out Red quill bait Lay said, is during le winter when rats and mice ave the fields and gather In ouses, outbuildings, and barns. Flue-cured Red Squill powder better than the sun-cured type, e pointed out. He recommended lat the poison be mixed with iree different ingredients to proide a variety of bait. A pound of poison to 15 pounds f hamberger meat makes a good ait, he said. Or a pound of the owder may be mixed with 15 ounds of cheap canned salmon r mackerel and a pound of oat leal. Or mix the poison with 16ounds of corn meal and enough 'ater to maKe it crumDiy. Usually, he said, it helps to put ut some non-poisoned bait for few days to get the rodents sed to eating it. Then when the oisoned bait is distributed, they dll eat it liberally. Place the bait where other annals cannot get at it, and where le rats or mice are likely to nn. Although Red Squill will not ill other animals, it may cause lem to vomit, Lay stated, and len there is no need to waste le bait by allowing the other nimals to eat it.
